In chemical shift encoded (CSE) fat quantification techniques, a low flip angle is most commonly used to avoid T1 bias at the expense of SNR. Alternatively, dual flip angle (DFA) acquisitions can be used for T1-corrected fat quantification, however DFA doubles the scan time. A dual TR (DTR) method is proposed where a small percentage increase of scan time allows the independent estimation of T1 of water and fat, and T1-correced fat quantification. This work demonstrates the feasibility of DTR in phantoms and liver imaging.
